It's the good old basic principle of wholesale: the more you buy of a product, the less you have to pay for it. Sounds simple and it is. At METRO, this pricing system is called "„Buy More Pay Less“", or BMPL for short. And it is one of the measures that make METRO's sCore growth strategy so successful. Why that is and why it's sometimes not so easy to simplify things is what I talk about in this episode of MORE Podcast with Matthias Dutschmann, Managing Director Offer Management and Supply Chain at METRO Germany.

In this episode of MORE Podcast, I talk to Peter Gries, Customer & Sales Officer at METRO AG, about the importance of customer understanding and customer acquisition. He explains the characteristics of the typical METRO customer and how METRO can best serve them to support their business. We also look at topics such as customer behaviour, building customer relationships, sales strategies, the role of digital tools and the use of data for customer relationship management. We also look at pricing and its role in METRO's wholesale transformation. At the end of the episode, Peter shares his Sound Souvenir with us.

Smaller retailers are finding it increasingly difficult to survive against the large hypermarket companies. Many of the family businesses are struggling for bare survival.

He explains to us what our franchise concept looks like in detail and what special significance Trader customers have for METRO's growth in the context of the sCore strategy.

Rising costs, lack of staff, inaccurate calculation - the challenges for restaurateurs are numerous.

About the ambitious goals of the METRO subsidiary and its contribution to the sCore strategy, I talk in this episode of MORE Podcast with Volker Gläser, CEO of Hospitality Digital.
